Amma Cheppindi: Andhra Chepala Pulusu/ Andhra Fish Curry http://amma-cheppindi.blogspot.in/2007/05/andhra-chepala-pulusu-andhra...

1 of 24 3/24/2013 12:24 PM

Coriander leaves - handful (chopped finely)

Oil - 7 tbsp

Proceed:

1) Heat oil in a non-stick Kadhai, add green chillies and

curry leaves and fry well, keep few for garnishing

2) To the above add onion paste or sliced shallots and fry

for 5 mins. on medium heat.

3) Add gg paste, turmeric, red chilli powder and masala

powder and fry for few mins. Mix well.

4) Layer the fish pieces on top, close the lid and cook for few

mins, turn over carefully, rotate the dish and cook for few more

mins. by closing lid.

5) Add water until fish pieces are immersed, keep the heat on

high, when it is started boiling, simmer and cover for 10 mins.

6) Add tamarind pulp, close the lid and cook until oil floats on

top and the raw smell of tamarind disappears, do not mix the

curry with the spatula instead carefully hold both the handle of

the dish and rotate.

7) Add coriander leaves and check for salt, cook it for 5

more mins and serve. While serving, garnish with curry leaves

and green chillies which is been fried earlier.

Serve with Plain White Rice.

Tips:

* For this dish use shallots, if you don't have then do as above. I

would recommend to use shallots to get that authentic taste of

Andhra Chepala Pulusu. For shallots no need to fry or grind as

normal onion, you can slice them thinly and fry in oil directly,

just follow point 2.

* When u have added fish pieces, do not mix with spatula,

instead rotate the dish or otherwise fish becomes mushy.

* For Indian curry's do not use Salmon. Any other firm fish will

do. For Indians use Bochu Cheppa, Sheelavathi, Pulsa variety.

* Only for River fishes (ex: Bochu cheppa, Pulsa) we do pulusu

style. For Sea fish ( ex: Tella Sanduva or Silver Pompfret,

Vanjeeram) do iguru type, means with out adding any

tamarind to it, but replacing with my chicken masala powder to

the above method.

* Pulusu and Iguru type curries have their own masalas, so do

not add cloves and say pulusu. In here we omit the cloves and

cinnamon.

Masala Powder:

Coriander seeds - 3 tsp, Poppy seeds (white) - 1 tsp,

Cardamom - 4 no. {Grind all these together in to fine

powder}.

********For New Zealand Fish:

Blue Warehou and Mullet are good for Fish Curry or Pulusu.

Trivally and Red Snapper is good for Fish Vepudu or Fry.

Meaning:

Mullet = Koyyingalu (we call these in telugu language, when

they are small we call them katti chepalu, big we call them

koyyingalu)

Rajani,

Thanks for the recipe. I am a vegetarian but my husband is a

non-vegetarian (from Kerala). He loves any kind of fish and

this hopefully will be a great introduction to the Andhra

Cuisine for him. Will have to try it out when we get fish next

time.

Nav

Rajani garu

I tried this recipe yesterday with tomato puree (since i like

taginess from tomato instead of tamarind) and it turned out

great with sea fish!

However, i wanted to kno if there is any other gravy variety in

andhra fish food... and why don't we use garam masala?

10/5/08


Hi KK,

For Traditional Andhra dishes we won't use garam masala if it

is Tamarind based dish. It's ok If there is no tomato or

tamarind based curries using garam masala.

Using different variety of fish in curry's it changes entire taste,

like Sanduva iguru, Nellore chepala pulusu (this one uses

tomato), Katti chepala kura, Methadalu kura, Pulsa kura.

These are all gravy dishes.

Hope! you understood what I am saying. Thanks for dropping

by and thank you for letting me know how it went for you.

Hi Nice blog. Very colorful and good. I will try your fish

pulusu today. It is the same way that my mother does . But I

am wondering whether I should do this with catfish or tilapia

or salmon. I wish I could find the one that we get in INDIA

here in USA. Anyways will give it a try. I saw other blogs

where they had added tomato to this dish but I dont think it

tastes good. will go with yours. Again grt colorful blog. Keep

rocking.

14/3/09


Hi MAC,

Thanks for visting my blog, actually you should change your

name to MAC :-).

Salmon is good for tandoori style cooking, some how I don't

like in any gravy or pulusu dishes. Tilapia is too soft for this

kind of pulusu, so i don't use that. Cat fish might work for you.

I don't use tomato either, but for nellore pulusu I definitely

add.

You are lucky staying in US, most of the shops I have seen in

LA they are selling nice Indian fish near Pasadena.

Best of luck!

HI

Thanks for the recipe.I am a male who like this dish a lot.I

tried cooking this dish using this website and it was a lot

helpful.now i know how to make this dish.Although the fish in

US are not as good,but the dish i made was not bad.In Andhra

pradesh this dish is considered as a tough one since only few

people could cook chepala pulusa perfectly.but i tried this one

using ur recipe and i thought it was perfect.

Thanks again

ajay

29/3/09


Hi Ajay,

Thanks for your feedback. We can't beat Indian fish, but has to

compromise the fish we get here. The key is to know the fish

before you even start cooking, like how fast it cooks, whether

tastes good in curry, how firm it is. Fresh is always the best......

I am glad it turned out well for you, Keep up your kitchen

adventures and do try other dishes too from my blog :-)

Rajani,

I followed this recipe with little modifications, it came out

great. My husband who is not too fond of sea food had two

fish fillets with dinner.

I am really fond of my mom's cooking, I hope to learn about

lot more about your mother's cooking style through you.

I used fresh wild Sea Bass for this dish. For folks in USA, i

think Sea Bass is a good option for pulusu.

Have a wonderful day,

Vijaya

Hi Vijaya,

I am happy to read you both liked the dish. I googled the sea

bass, but it looks so scary. May be people who haven't tired

might give it a go.

Hi Rajani,

I just got relocated to Hyderabad; and don't want to miss an

opportunity to try some seafood. Your reciepe sounds

great...just want to know which fish varieties are available in

AP (particularly available in Hyderabad) and which one would

be best for this reciepe...especially for curries.

29/8/10


Hi,

Hilsa, Katti chepa, Bochu chepa, Pulsa Variety are good for this

recipe like pulusu style. I am from Kakinada so I think you can

find these varieties too in Hyd.

cheers

Hi Rajani,

while the recipe is good,

No one uses Karivepaku in Non veg In Andhra , So it is not an

authenticated Andhra Chepala pulusu

Dear Rajani,

Thanks for the Preparation.

I made it my home and enjoyed it.

While writing, you may mention Telugu Name in Bracket, So

Telugu people can easily find it more easily to understand.

Pray Divine for a prosperous Life for you.

If possible, try to include Home made pickles like Gongura,

Dondakai with Bera pottu etc...

As love food, may be send few of my mother preparations in

few days, So friends can enjoy it.

Good Luck,

TVRao

Hi Lakshmi,

My Sister also lives there she uses cat fish for pulusu varieties.

Hi Soujanya,

Thanks for your feed back. I am glad you both loved it.

Hi Anon,

Well, have you tried by adding it. It gives flavor to a dish. If

you don't like by all means remove and make the curry the

way you like.

Hi Kaberi,

Welcome to my blog. Do try and let me know your feed back.

Hi V,

Salmon I would make tandoori marination and do fry style

only.

Hi Anon,

Thanks for your feed back and appreciation. Will include them

in future. Do send me your too on my mail id when you are

free.

Hi mam,

Am Kiran ksihore frm Hyd recently found ur site

accidentally.But later Nw it has become my menu card to

watch out for todays special in my kitchen.Am 22 years old

away frm home on education purpose.Ur site has helped me lot

in learning and even getting appreciation frm my parents as a

good cook.Actually this credit goes to U.I tried liver fry,egg

iguru,tomato pappu,fish fry......

They are really good at taste I always get satisfies with andhra

style food.Really a great great Thanks to you for helping Us.

Thank you very much mam.AM expecting any kind of specials

which can be prepared in couple of minutes and used as

breakfast or supper.Or some curries .

Hi Kiran,

Regarding your query - 2 mins curry ante fatafatt ayyevi

chicken 65, egg bhurji, chicken pulao, prawn curry, breakfast

ki opt for upma, pesarettu, or even ready made mix like mtr

idli mix. If you have idli stand then make the chutney in bulk

saripada and keep in fridge. chana curry is also easy to make

for evenings, left overs can be used for puri chana. egg bhurji

left over ayite next day chapati ki bavutundhi cheyatem

kastem anipiste ready made tortillas vuntayi kada margarine

raasi cook it on tawa for few secs on both sides. Mostly

weekend wash the spinach leaves cut and keep in freezer bags

and use for dal dishes more easy or even cook the dal with

leaves, but do not add any popu to it and keep in fridge, when

you are ready eating do seasoning stuff for required amount of

dal and have it, this way dal tastes fresh too. or just make

tomato curry with vadiyalu or omelette. or even daddojanem

or lemon rice for one pot meals.

will post if you want recipes for these. see ya.

cheers

I loved the Andhra Fish Curry at the restaurant. Thought of

making one at home. I used Bhetki fillet but followed exactly

your recipe, i.e. Tamarind and Ginger. It came out exceedingly

well. I think I will bookmark this recipe forever. Thanks

28/3/11


Hi Sandeep,

Thanks for your feed back. Betki fish is it a bengali name,

sounds interesting. I wonder can we get other parts of India

too, if so what might be the name?

Hi Rajani garu

Thanks for awesome chepala pulusu. Achu maa amma

cheppinatle undi....I have a suggestion.. Add fried a tea spoon

of menthulu(methi)and cumin in place of cardamom to the

masala powder. It smells and tastes very good. Smell of

cardamom doesn't go with fish curries.. my opinion

Cheers

afsar

20/6/11


Hi Afsar,

ya I think if you add fenugreek and cumin then no need of

cardamom they both tastes differently. We have freinds from

telangana region they add menthulu jeelakarra podi in fish

pulusu where as I add cardamom too. but both versions tastes

good. Thanks for your tip......

Dear Ms Rajani, thank you for the great fish curry. every thing

is fine. Your last recomendation serve with yogurt is strange.

Ayurveda advises that fish products and dairy products dont

go together and ayurveda texts say leads to skin conditions. so

avoid dairy products like milk yogurt cheese etc on the same

meal.

Hi Anonymous,

Good point!!!!! I removed yoghurt thing now. We used to do

that when we were kids not eating yoghurt.

Can we add yoghurt while cooking fish? is it not advisable.

cheers
